Catnapper, your Nicki looks a lot like my Lefty in the face--what is she? Mine is a Greyhound/GS mix with a brindle coat and floppy ears.
Nicki's mom was a ???? mix, and her dad was a bull mastiff. She's a big baby and very easy to walk - usually we start off with her pulling me slightly, and by the time we're done, she's dragging behind me. She's 100 pounds.

I would love to have a sister dog for her, but she's much happier as a single dog. Before we got married, I lived with my mom and Nicki shared my affections with my mom's dog... the only fights she and Addie had were over food and bones (which was an easy fix - feed them in separate rooms.) However, Nicki and Sammie fought over EVERYTHING. I guess having two queen bees was not a good thing. I remember crying my heart out thinking that I'd have to give her up to my mom because the Sammie/Nicki pairing was a nightmare. Then, Sammie got sick and passed on.

Now, my brother has two rescued Greyhounds and they LOVE each other. I swear one would die of a broken heart if anything happened to the other. It must be luck of the draw when you get two animals together. People tell me that I'm lucky my boys love each other so much... I can't imagine them any other way.
